Heal Emotional Entanglements
Kuan Yin's Essential Healing Game to Heal Emotional Entanglements
Removing Emotional Obstructions to Clear Thinking
This Game uses Intuitive Learning Circles and Archetypal Symbols from "The Essential Human" to remove negative entanglements and restore emotional balance.
"Your imagination is key to creating change in your life. A flexible and creative mind has the power to remove negativity and obstructions to happiness.
If you look around you right now, you will realize that most everything you see began in someone's imagination.
The chair you're sitting in.
The computer in front of you.
If all these things began in someone's imagination, you will also need to use your own imagination effectively to create the happiness you desire. This game was designed to help you do that."
Clearing Emotional Gridlock
Sometimes there's so much going on in a situation, it seems impossible to make headway in a positive direction. Emotional entanglements are rampant in our society and you may feel powerless, however, there is a way to loosen up the emotional gridlock using these symbols with your imagination.
Step One:
Think about a situation you are experiencing that just doesn't seem to get better, no matter what you try. Use this symbol to help you visualize the problem very clearly.
Step Two:
Now we're going to use your imagination to heal emotional entanglements you have around this situation. Look at the symbol below and imagine that you're on a path and you've hit a crossroads where the intersection branches off in many different directions. There's a big signpost with signs for all the different destinations, yet for some reason, you can't see them clearly. Maybe the words are fuzzy and out of focus, creating confusion in your mind. How frustrating it is to find this at a place where you must decide what you're going to do and which direction will take you where you want to go!
Step Three:
Let's suppose that by going through the next few charts, you'll be able to see the signs clearly and know intuitively what to do and which path (if any) is the correct one to follow.
Look at this symbol for a few moments and imagine that you're untangling a messy ball of yarn. Stay with it and keep breathing until until the tangles are completely gone.
Step Four:
Imagine that you're in a battlefield filled with warriors fighting in hand to hand combat. As you look at this symbol, transform the situation. Imagine that all the warriors awaken as if from a nightmare and everyone of them spontaneously sets down their weapons, even you!
Step Five:
Imagine that you're at a toy store where a crowd of people are struggling to get the last toy on the shelf. Now use the symbol to transform and clear negativity as you imagine that plenty of toys are appearing – enough for everyone!
There's nothing to fight over any more. Everyone is okay.
Step Six:
Now imagine that you're back at the crossroads again. How has it changed? Use this affirmation to clear up any remaining emotional confusion:
"I release all false information. I now perceive clearly."
Step Seven:
Now you can use Kuan Yin's Mandala for Direction and Soul Guidance to complete the game. Use this final affirmation:
"I follow the path of light and clarity."
Congratulations! You have successfully used your imagination with the Intuitive Learning Circles to heal emotional entanglements from of your unconscious mind. The next time you encounter this situation, notice if the dynamics have changed for you.

Nam Y. Huh, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama rolled to re-election Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions. In victory, he confidently promised better days ahead.
Obama spoke to thousands of cheering supporters in his hometown of Chicago, praising Romney and declaring his optimism for the next four years. "While our road has been hard, though our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come," he said.
Romney made a brief, graceful concession speech before a disappointed crowd in Boston. He summoned all Americans to pray for Obama and urged the night's political winners to put partisan bickering aside and "reach across the aisle" to tackle the nation's problems.
Still, after the costliest — and one of the nastiest — campaigns in history, divided government was alive and well.
Democrats retained control of the Senate with surprising ease. With three races too close to call, they had the possibility of gaining a seat.
Republicans won the House, ensuring that Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Obama's partner in unsuccessful deficit talks, would reclaim his seat at the bargaining table. With numerous races as yet uncalled, the size of the GOP majority was unknown.
At Obama headquarters in Chicago, a huge crowd gathered waving small American flags and cheering. Supporters hugged each other, danced and pumped their fists in the air. Excited crowds also gathered in New York's Times Square, at Faneuil Hall in Boston and near the White House in Washington, drivers joyfully honking as they passed by.
With returns from 88 percent of the nation's precincts, Obama had 55.8 million, 49.8 percent of the popular vote. Romney had 54.5 million, or 48.6 percent.
The president's laserlike focus on the battleground states allowed him to run up a 303-206 margin in the competition for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, the count that mattered most. Remarkably, given the sour economy, he lost only two states that he captured in 2008, Indiana and North Carolina.
Florida, another Obama state four years ago, remained too close to call.
The election emerged as a choice between two very different visions of government — whether it occupies a major, front-row place in American lives or is in the background as a less-obtrusive facilitator for private enterprise and entrepreneurship.
The economy was rated the top issue by about 60 percent of voters surveyed as they left their polling places. But more said former President George W. Bush bore responsibility for current circumstances than Obama did after nearly four years in office.
That boded well for the president, who had worked to turn the election into a choice between his proposals and Romney's, rather than a simple referendum on the economy during his time in the White House.
Unemployment stood at 7.9 percent on Election Day, higher than when the president took office. And despite signs of progress, the economy is still struggling after the worst recession in history.
Obama captured Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado and Nevada, seven of the nine states where the rivals and their allies poured nearly $1 billion into dueling television commercials.
Romney won North Carolina among the battleground states.
Florida was too close to call, Obama leading narrowly in a state where there were still long lines of voters at some polling places long after the appointed closing time.

The hotel features 3,600 sq. ft. of meeting space; a restaurant and bar; Starbucks kiosk; and an indoor pool.
In 2014, the hotel's lobby will be restyled with the brand's Project Grow design and the rooms will receive a soft-goods renovation.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Lithium, off of Nevermind, is probably one of the most well known Nirvana songs, and is amazing. The live version of Been a Son from the Seattle homecoming is also awesome. Been a Son is off of Incesticide, a released colection of covers and b-tracks, and is also one of my favorite Nirvana songs. Curmudgeon is, one again, amazing. It was never released on a full album, and can only be found either on this single or bootlegged off of other sites. It is slightly rawer and forshadows the feel of some of the tracks off of In Utero.
Overall, I give the single 5 stars. If you are a big Nirvana fan and don't have it, you're missing out. If you are just getting into Nirvana, or are interested in hearing more of their stuff, it's a great buy.
The single also has an added bonus. In addition to the three great songs, the sleeve contains a complete set of the lyrics to Nevermind. These are the lyrics as written by Kurt Cobain, not as interpreted by others who have posted lyrics on websites.
The Lithium single is awesome, and I highly recommend it.
Unlike what some people have said, I think the two b-sides are awesome. The live "Been a Son" is represented in fine form here, and is taken from a great show (the 10/31/91 Seattle homecoming show, which happens to be one of my favorites [I own it on CD]). "Curmudegon" is a demo recorded in the spring of '92, and its raw quality sounds quite unlike anything on Nevermind ("Lithium" included). In fact, "Curmudegon" heavily foreshadows the sound of In Utero.
In short, I would recommend this to people who already own Nevermind and In Utero, and are looking to gain further insight into the band. I would actually recommend getting this as part of the "Singles Box" (if you can find it cheaply), as it contains all of the singles and b-sides from Nevermind and In Utero. This single by itself, however, is still pretty damn good.
personally, i think if your a huge kurdt fan you may enjoy this but others may not be so happy.

Your best bet is to talk to local credit union. Be prepare that most lenders will refuse to finance car that is 10+ years old. You may end up putting it on personal loan instead.

Re: Financing a 1999 M3
Try a credit union. We financed a 98 Ford Expedition last year and got a decent rate with a credit union. It's a 30 month loan.
Re: Financing a 1999 M3
that sound perfect.
just out of curiousity, where are you located and what credit union did u go through? Wonder if there is one around here...
$6050 $5000 $10500 $2416 $6500 $3000
Re: Financing a 1999 M3
Hit up Google. Found a couple of credit unions by me.
Re: Financing a 1999 M3
I know from my dealership days that Wells Fargo Dealer Services will finance older units like this through authorized dealers.
Re: Financing a 1999 M3
Im having a hard time finding dealers with the car i want...
My friend owns the exact car i want Black/Black 1993 M3 with lowish miles in MINT condition...he rides his motorcylce almost exclusively now and said he would sell it for $8500 to me if was interested...
Is there any suggestions for getting a loan for a private party transaction or is it only likely to be approved through a dealership? Do banks like Wells Fargo even do private party loans, especially for older cars?
My scores are in the Mid 600's but i have about 50-60% utilization which would certainly be paid down to at least 30% or so before i applied for anything...
I have about 3 years without any late payments and have aquired good new lines of credit since then (AMEX GREEN, CHASE FREEDOM, BARCLAYS, etc)....
$6050 $5000 $10500 $2416 $6500 $3000

Read an Excerpt
Early autumn, AD 793-Sand, Raumerike, south-eastern Norway
Seven years and Ash Hringson refused to think about how many thousands of miles it had been since he last set foot in Sand, the capital of Raumerike. He would have preferred to go straight home to Jaarlshiem, but he had a duty to inform the king of his travels and his plans for the future.
Ash rubbed a hand over his chin, fingering the small half-moon scar there. He had seen over thirty battles and minor skirmishes since he'd left. His face might be clear of all but the most minor scars, but he walked with a distinct limp, the legacy of a battle three years ago, which aggravated the injury he had received in a Frankish dungeon. He knew that he was not the same carefree youth who had left Raumerike's shores, with a thirst for adventure and the certainty of a glorious future. In his mind, Raumerike and all he'd left behind remained the same.
A great unexpected feeling of long-awaited belonging rose up in his throat. He was in his home country. On his native soil. A foreigner no longer.
Ash gave a wry smile. He must have done enough to regain some measure of his father's respect. Hanging his head in shame or walking in the shadows of life was no longer his destiny. He'd become a leader of men rather than a coward who left others to die in a fiery inferno.
The town had seen a few changes over the seven years he'd been gone, expanded with an air of bustling prosperity, but the streets were laid out the same. The blacksmith where he'd purchased his first sword looked to be under different management and the king's hall appeared to have been rebuilt. The market by the quayside was larger with a broader range of fabric and fur, but the fishmonger still traded in the right-hand corner, calling about fresh herring and salted cod.
Several market dwellers gave him sideways glances, paled slightly and turned away the closer he came, hurriedly pulling the shutters down. Ash's hand tightened instinctively on his sword's hilt. He forced it to relax.
Did they remember the shame he had brought to his father and the country? The brothers, friends and cousins who had died because of his recklessness on that fateful night? Was that why they looked at him as if he were one of the walking dead? Or was it the typical Raumerike distrust of an outsider?
He might be dressed in Viken clothes, but his heart beat with a love for Raumerike. He'd always remembered where he came from. It was why he'd returned-to make peace with his father if he could and to offer young Raumerike warriors true opportunity for advancement, rather than facing likely death on an unfriendly sea.
A temptation filled him to shout to the curious, doubters and naysayers that shame and coward were no longer carved on his chest. The youth who had run his ship aground in a storm because he was far too eager for wealth had learnt his lesson. A man's life was more precious than objects or gold. He kept his mouth shut, his hand firmly at his side and strode silently on.
Ash set his jaw and turned his feet towards the king's hall. First the king, then his father and finally his wife. He knew the proper order of things. Now.
Kara would understand. He remembered that about her, even if he could not conjure up the exact tenor of her quiet voice or the precise colour of her golden hair. She'd always been his most loyal supporter since they had first met when they were children and she'd bound his falcon's broken wing. His last memory of her was her head held proudly aloft and a single tear trickling down her cheek as she begged him to return a hero.
Ash pushed the thoughts about Kara away, just as he had done for the last seven years. Soon, soon he'd be able to remember. First he had to do his duty to king and country.
'Why are you walking amongst the living, Ghost?' an elderly voice called out from a stall hung with cooking pots. 'Today of all days?'
Ash winced as he mistimed his step, and put all of his weight on his bad leg. Of all the people to greet him first, it would have to be this woman. He forced himself to recall each of her sons' deaths before answering. The elder two had died in the storm, but the youngest had endured captivity with him, keeping him alive with his tales of long-ago bravery. He had wept when his last friend died. For a day and a night, he had lived in that hell hole with the body. Eventually, he'd been able to overpower the Frankish guard who had been sent to check on them and escaped through the narrow stinking drain. Even now, after more than six years, he found it impossible to sleep inside or to go underground.
For the first time in that cursed journey, the gods had been with him. After he'd pulled himself from the drain, he had found a Viken ship in the harbour, signed on and had begun life as a sell-sword.
'No ghost walking. I am real, Hildi, the mother of warriors and a pearl amongst women.' Ash named her three sons who had sailed with him and all of whom had perished. 'I have come to give you the tribute for the lives of your valiant sons. All three sup with Odin. Feel my hand. I am real.'
She poked him with a bony finger. 'Bah. Your tongue still runs with silver, Ash Hringson. Let's hope there is some truth in your words this time. Alive and not drowned. This is indeed something new.'
'I survived, but know I will atone for their deaths. I give my promise, Hildi, as I once promised all those who followed me.' He looked into Hildi's eyes. 'Your sons now reside in Valhalla, instead of sharing the deep with Ran. What more could you ask for?'
'That I never doubted.' The woman barked an order and came out from behind the market stall.
Slightly more bent and a few more wrinkles, but essentially the same woman who had wept when she waved her boys goodbye. Her three sons had gone on the journey so that their mother would not have to work at the market, selling fish. Ash bowed his head.
The familiar tang of regret filled his throat. He'd lost count of how many times he'd wished that it had been he who had died rather than worthier men like Hildi's sons. Silently he added more to the amount he owed her. It wouldn't bring her sons back, but it would make her life easier.
'The king remains the same?' he asked when he trusted his voice.
'Aye, King Eystienn clings to the throne. His eyesight fails and his sword arm is not as strong as it once was, but his mind is as sharp as ever. It remains to be seen if he dies in his bed or with a sword in his hand.'
'He should be the first to hear the tale before I pay the tribute. I want no one to question. Does he sit or hunt today?'
She gave him a curious glance and cackled. 'Neither. Today he attends the wedding.'
The elderly woman looked over her shoulder and tightened the shawl about her shoulders. 'Your wife's. She is marrying again with the entire court in attendance.'
'Kara Olofdottar remains my wife.' Ash squared his jaw. 'There has been no divorce. There will be no divorce. She is mine. What is mine stays mine. My father's motto and therefore mine.'
'Then you had best claim her, Ash Hringson.' The old lady paused and gave a toothless smile. 'Before someone else does. Next time, return sooner if you wish to keep the things which are rightfully yours.'
A prickle of unease coursed down Kara Olofdottar's back. She wished she hadn't given in to Valdar's plea to marry at Sand with everyone watching their solemn oaths before Var's high priest. Life would have been much simpler if they had married at Jaarlshiem beneath the spreading branches of the tuntreet as she'd suggested. She'd grown to love that old tree, the gnarled guardian of the estate who kept everything safe and prosperous.
Following the example of her late father-in-law, Kara told the tree all the news. Always. And thereby ensured that her undertakings benefited the estate. Her late husband had failed to tell the tree he was leaving on his ill-fated expedition and he'd also failed to return. She liked to think it made a difference.
She understood why Valdar wanted this very public declaration, but she hated crowds, always had done.
'Are you all right, Kara?' Auda, one of her closest friends, asked, giving her a searching look. They had met when Auda had first come to court, shortly after Ash had left on his ill-fated journey. Auda's eldest was about the same age as Kara's son. And her husband had died of a fever last spring shortly after Kara's father-in-law's funeral. 'You appear lost in your own world. Still thinking about the horse my uncle forced you to examine when you arrived? It will recover. Horses always seem to after you have examined them. You have the knack.'
'I'm merely about to get married in front of what feels like the entire kingdom.' Kara smoothed her blonde hair back from her shoulder. It had been so long since she'd worn it loose that she'd forgotten what a nuisance it could be, constantly tangling and blowing in her mouth.
'Everyone is interested in the beautiful widow from Jaarlshiem and what happens to her. It gives me hope that some day I'll find another man.' Auda clicked her fingers. 'You and your bridal finery will keep the tongues wagging until it is Jul-time. No one will speak against this marriage or say that it was not done properly, if that is what you are worried about.'
Kara wet her lips. 'Why would any speak against the marriage? We are both free to marry. Or do you know something about Valdar?'
'My brother-in-law remained single until you came into his life.' Auda laughed. 'It is your uncle by marriage, Harald Haraldson, who concerns me. He plays more tricks than Loki, as my late husband used to say. He never forgave Harald for the diseased sheep he traded.'
'Harald Haraldson is powerless to halt this marriage!' Kara forced her hand to stay in her lap and not tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She was determined her hair would be beautiful and not hanging like a witch's for this marriage. 'The king approves of the marriage. I'm hopeful the king will finally confirm my son as the rightful jaarl of Jaarlshiem once he sees that Valdar will protect Rurik's interests.'
'How can I help you to finish your preparations? It wouldn't do to keep your new husband waiting. These Nerisons can become impatient when they want something.'
Right now, she wanted to run back to the security of Jaarlshiem; she wanted the nausea to retreat back down her throat and the panic to recede. She wasn't a naive bride of sixteen any more. She was a widow of twenty-three. She couldn't afford the luxury of being unwed any longer. The very public marriage would show the entire kingdom, indeed the entire North lands, that she'd chosen a strong warrior to guard the estate until her son came of age.
While her father-in-law had lived, there had been no need to remarry as he had still commanded all of Raumerike's respect. But now that he was dead, she knew she could not hold the lands without help. She had no choice-she had to remarry or risk losing everything she had worked so hard to keep these last few years. She had promised herself on her father-in-law's deathbed that it wouldn't be as he predicted with his final gasp of breath-that as a lone woman, everything would slip from her grasp and Rurik would inherit nothing when he came of age. She would succeed and prove him wrong.
'Unpack my mother's bridal crown. I should have done it before now, I know, but I had to look at that horse and then there were the final preparations for the feast and '
'Old crowns are the best. I had to make do with a simple wreath of flowers when I married.' Auda clapped her hands together. 'In a few days' time you will wonder why you ever hesitated, Kara. Valdar confessed how many times he asked you. Was it fifteen or twenty?'
'Seventeen-not that I kept track.'
The marriage made sense. Valdar was kind, steady and dependable. He never had any inclination to go Viking or even on long, distant voyages for trading purposes. Her father-in-law had proclaimed Valdar to have been born under a steady star, unlike Ash's wandering one. He would be the right sort of father for Rurik-patient and caring, present instead of risking it all many leagues away. A man to lean on.
'A pity Rurik isn't here.' Auda fastened the white cloak about Kara's shoulders. 'He would have loved seeing his mother looking like a goddess. And his first opportunity to see the capital.'
'Jaarlshiem is safer. Fewer opportunities for mischief. My nerves are in shreds enough as is.' Kara firmed her mouth and ignored Auda's remark about looking like a goddess.
If she'd been more of a woman, Ash would not have gone. Ash would have stayed and made sure that he had a healthy heir. Her father-in-law's bitter words just after he found out about Ash's tragic death still had the power to hurt. Kara shook her head. Her late husband was the last person she wanted to think about today of all days. It was her wedding day.
A new start. A new chapter to ensure that Rurik grew up without fear. Jaarlshiem had been without a strong warrior at its helm for far too long. Ash Hringson belonged to the unremembered past and the girl she had once been. If she had been the one to die instead, her ashes would have barely been scattered on the tuntreet's roots before Ash found another to warm his bed.
'What has Rurik been up to?' Auda gave an indulgent smile. 'Surely he learnt his lesson after being caught out in that thunderstorm with a horse he could barely control.'
'Trust me, you don't want to know.' Kara held up her hand. 'But he worships Valdar. I hope he will be a calming influence.'
She refused to think about the narrow escapes her six-year-old son specialised in recently. The incident with the horse had been enough, but he had taken to defying her at every opportunity. Leaving him with Gudrun, Ash's old nurse, had seemed like the best option. Gudrun was used to such behaviour. She often proclaimed how like his father Rurik was, particularly around his ears and nose.
Ash's many scrapes were the stuff of legend. They first met because he had fallen while trying to recapture his falcon. The falcon suffered a hurt wing and Ash had brought the falcon to her mother rather than wringing its neck as his father had advised.
Her mother's skill as a healer had been second to none and it had been the first time Kara had been allowed to bind up a bird's wing while her mother had attended to Ash's twisted ankle. Five months later her mother had died in an accident. Ash had spoken to Kara during the funeral, taking the time to discover her hiding place behind the iron trunk and bring her a sweetmeat. Instant adoration had followed and when he'd asked her to marry him, all of her girlish dreams had come true.
Until it was too late, she had never considered that he might not feel the same way about her. Foolishly she'd failed to realise her hero was a selfish man, not a god.

This was the Season 1 finale, and they did a pretty good job of tying all the loose ends together in case there wasn't a Season 2, whlle leaving the door slightly open in case there was. The episode opens with change in the air. Jane has accepted hotshot lawyer Phil's proposal but isn't sure (or at least Aunt Nicholls isn't sure she's sure), while Mike has decided go off in his newly-refurbished boat, leaving young Steve Blade in charge of the harbourmaster's office - which is news to Tony Simpson, who actually decides who's in charge, and who thinks all Blades are bad.
Cue multiple tender moments (and an actual snog) between Mike and Jane, and an orienteering challenge from Simpson which leaves Steve stuck in the bog (an actual bog, that is), with Mike pulling him out then sacrificing his wellies to secure Steve's continued employment.
Just to complicate things further, passionate PC Melanie arrives back from Hartlepool, reopening her dialogue with Mike with a quip about being good at biology which even she disowns as being a bit tacky. Meanwhile Rita Blade, fresh out of jail, shows how leading your man by the nose should be done, dragging hers upstairs with a husky "Come on, you!" and leaving son Jason to deliver the line of the series, "She won't feel so frisky when she sees the new wallpaper Dad's put up".
The climax is Jane and Phillip's engagement party, a posh do upstairs in the caravan park with Rita stealing the show again as she appears to a round of applause from the assembled Good People of Bridehaven, ie everyone except Tony Simpson, who atones for his past Blade-bashing by telling Steve he's got the relief harbourmaster's job. Here the Big Secret, kept since episode one, finally comes out, as Mike's Navy crew mate tells Jane that her brother Pete's death was his own stupid fault, and that Mike fought tooth and nail to keep it from his family, so they wouldn't have to know that he'd been an order-disobeying idiot.
Cue more wailing and gnashing of teeth from Jane (her speciality), and a confession that her engagement to Phil is a mistake, which in turn cues Mike doing his speciality, backing away from commitment to the ladies (he's already backed away from Mel, understandably enough given her 'biology' gaffe).
The outcome is the Good People of Bridehaven (and Tony Simpson) assembled again, this time on the quayside the following morning as Aunt Nichols smashes a bottle of Tesco Cava across the bow of Mike's newly-launched boat ("waste of good booze", as George Blade puts it), and Mike gives a short soliloqy before setting off on a solo voyage that might just never end, leaving his two heartbroken women watching wistfully from the dock.
What the audience (and, possibly, half the cast) didn't know was that as well as being the end of Series 1, this was also the end of Harbour Lights as we knew it. When Mike sailed back into port for Series 2, Bridehaven would be a desolate place, emptied of its more empathetic characters (Elvis, Aunt, Jane, Rita, Kelly and even Jason Blade) and ruled by ruthless gangsters whose idea of business incentives was to break Tony Simpson's leg. It would never be the same again, and it wouldn't last long, either.
Series 1 was sentimental, slow moving and let down by some terrible plotting and poor production, but it had real heart. I miss it. Series 2 was sharper, but deliberately heartless. I don't.

My software language book is coming together. :-)
Software Languages: An Introduction
Ralf Lämmel
To appear in Springer Verlag, 2016-17
Call for book usage
If you are doing lectures or if you are otherwise interested in the emerging book, please get in touch. I can share draft material with you, subject to agreeing with some (simple?) copyright-related protocol. Of course, I would be happy to see this work being used and receiving feedback. If you would rather want to see a more polished manuscript, then get in touch anyway, and I am happy to keep you in the loop.
Use cases of the book
Let me just explain how I use the book; please let me know about your needs.
- I am readily using this book now as the exclusive resource for my Bachelor-level course on programming language theory, as it covers enough aspects of formal syntax, semantics, interpretation, and type systems. The style in these areas is quite applied as opposed to theoretical. Nevertheless some advanced topics are offered in the relevant chapters, e.g., metametamodels, partial evaluation, and abstract interpretation.
- I am also using this book to support my Master-level course on software language engineering. Especially the DSL primer and the broad coverage of the notion of software languages and the topics on software metalanguages and software language implementation help me to quickly drill into software language engineering. I should mention that, for the purposes of my research-oriented course, I don't expect in-depth coverage of those subjects; rather I want to prepare students for research work.
Important characteristics of the book
I already mentioned that the book is written in an applied as opposed to a theoretical style. The book develops simple notations for abstract and concrete syntax which are used throughout the book. Different programming languages are used to implement functionality (semantics, type checking, transformation, translation, etc.). In the context of semantics and type systems, Haskell is preferred. In some illustrations of language implementation, Python and Java are leveraged. In a few places, Prolog is used for representing rewrite systems or deductive systems to provide executable specifications for problems of software language processing.
There are many exercises throughout the book; they are classified at the levels "basic", "intermediate", and "advanced". Solutions for the exercises are not included into the book, but they should be made available eventually online for the basic and intermediate levels.
Timeline for finalization
Realistically, I will need all of summer 2016 to finish and mature all content. In August, I plan to provide a version for reviewing by Springer. Depending on the details of the Springer-driven process and my ability to implement change requests in a timely manner, the book could be in print in 6 months from now (Mid June 2016). I would be very sad (as if you or me cared), if it would take another year. Until then, I am happy to communicate with regard to the possible deployment of the draft material in your courses.
Status of material
These chapters are stable:
- The notion of software language
- Software language examples
- Classification of software languages
- The lifecycle of software languages
- Software languages in software engineering
- Software languages in academia
- A DSL primer

What's not in the book?
- Description of specific platforms for software language implementation such as Eclipse, EMF, TXL, Stratego/XT, and Rascal. The book aims at being technology-agnostic and somewhat timeless. Also, the assumption is that there exists strong material for all important platforms. The book comes with online material though, which covers several platforms. Diverse platforms are mentioned in the right places in the book.
- Proper coverage of compiler construction topics such as flow analysis, intermediate or machine code-level optimization, and code generation. A cursory discussion of compiler construction topics is included though. There are clearly very good books on compiler construction on the market. Don't expect this book to be useful for a compiler construction course.
- A deeper discussion of current research trends in software language engineering. One might thus miss non-trivial coverage of, for example, language workbenches, projectional editing, language embedding, debugging, language integration, and advanced metalanguages, e.g., for name binding or type systems. The reason for exclusion is again that the book aims at being somewhat timeless. Pointers to research works are included, though.

Finally, use widgets to edit the Footer area ('Return to Top' plus 'Copyright/Credits') in Genesis Framework and Child Themes.
If you're satisfied with your configuration there's no need for this plugin. Never change a running system :). Otherwise you might find this plugin useful as it also supports all of the Genesis Footer Shortcodes! And you might have even more possibilities then.
Yes. If a child theme has repositioned its footer or done other things with that, my plugin cannot work. It relies on the default footer hook of Genesis which is used unchanged by almost all official child themes! For the slightly different footer functions in "Prose", "Pretty Young Thing" and "Modern Blogger" child themes is already full support included, though!
All of the seven available shortcodes are listed and explained here: Genesis Footer Shortcodes
This is possible and the plugin already comes with a handy helper function for that. Just use the following code in your child theme's functions.php file or in your functionality plugin:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Reposition Disclaimer Widget to the Very Bottom */
add_action( 'genesis_before', '__gwfoot_footer_disclaimer_bottom' );
--> Explanation: This helper function just fires through the 'genesis_before' hook to catch the right priorities for loading stuff but places the whole widget area in the 'genesis_after' hook! Note: This function is fully compatible with the "Prose" child theme, as it does various checks.
Same as before using this plugin. The plugin does NOT touch any theme styles. Still it can be neccessary to tweak some styles, for example if you're using a search form in the footer you might change the button color or font size or whatever a bit.
For extended styling of the new widget areas there a few IDs and classes included. These are:
If that's still not enough, you can even enqueue your own style, an action hook is included for that:
gwfoot_load_styles -- This hook fires within the WordPress action hook
wp_enqueue_scripts just after properly enqueueing the plugin's styles and only if at least one of the three widgets is active, so it's fully conditional!
Since plugin version 1.2.0+ both areas are hidden for all known landing page templates of official plus market/community child themes. Re-adding them is possible via your child theme's
functions.php file or a functionality plugin. Just add this code:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Re-add Footer Widget Areas for Landing Pages */
define( 'GWFOOT_REMOVE_LANDING_FOOTER', FALSE );
Since plugin version 1.2.0+ removing is possible via your child theme's
functions.php file or a functionality plugin. Just add this code:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Disclaimer for Landing Pages */
define( 'GWFOOT_LANDING_DISCLAIMER', FALSE );
Yes, this is possible since plugin version 1.3.0! Just add this code to your child theme's
functions.php file or a functionality plugin:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Disclaimer Widget Area */
define( 'GWFOOT_NO_DISCLAIMER_WIDGET_AREA', TRUE );
Of course, it's possible! Just add the following constant to your child theme's
functions.php file or to a functionality plugin:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Widgets Shortcode Support */
define( 'GWFOOT_NO_WIDGETS_SHORTCODE', TRUE );
Some webmasters could need this for security reasons regarding their stuff members or for whatever other reasons... :).
(1) Parameters for
[gwfoot-widget-area] Shortcode:
area -- ID of the Widget area (Sidebar) (default: none, empty)
footer-one OR
footer-two OR
(2) Parameters for
[gwfoot-lastupdated] Shortcode:
date_format -- Date format (default: format you've set via "General Settings")
wrapper -- HTML wrapper tag (default:
p (paragraph))
class -- Additional custom CSS class for the wrapper (default: none, empty)
text_before -- Text string, displayed before the date (default:
Latest update date:)
text_after -- Text string, displayed after the date (default: none, empty)
Of course, that's possible! Just add the following constant to your child theme's
functions.php file or to a functionality plugin:
/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Shortcode Features */
define( 'GWFOOT_SHORTCODE_FEATURES', TRUE );
I've just included some filters for that - if ever needed (i.e. for clients, branding purposes etc.), you can use these filters:
gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_title - default value: "Footer Area #1"
gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_description - default value: "This is the first widget area (%s) within the Genesis Footer." (where the
%s placeholder defaults to the
gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_title - default value: "Footer Area #2"
gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_description - default value: "This is the second widget area (%s) within the Genesis Footer." (where the
%s placeholder defaults to the
gwfoot_filter_footer_disclaimer_widget_title - default value: "Footer Disclaimer"
gwfoot_filter_footer_disclaimer_widget_description - default value: "This is the widget area of the search not found content section."
Example code for changing one of these filters:
add_filter( 'gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_title', 'gwfoot_custom_footer_one_widget_title' );
* Genesis Widgetized Footer: Custom Footer Area Widget Title
function gwfoot_custom_footer_one_widget_title() {
return __( 'Custom Footer Area', 'your-child-theme-textdomain' );
Final note: I DON'T recommend to add customization code snippets to your child theme's
functions.php file! Please use a functionality plugin or an MU-plugin instead! This way you can also use this better for Multisite environments. In general you are not abusing the functions.php for plugin-specific stuff and you are then also more independent from child theme changes etc. If you don't know how to create such a plugin yourself just use one of my recommended 'Code Snippets' plugins. Read & bookmark these Sites:
functions.php file: Resource One - Resource Two (both by Thomas Griffin Media)
All the custom & branding stuff codes above can also be found as a Gist on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/2497456 (you can also add your questions/ feedback there :)
(1) In general: You may use it for "global" widgets.
(2) Usage with the "WPML" plugin: Widgets can be translated with their "String Translation" component - this is much easier than adding complex footer credits logic for a lot of languages to your functions.php...
You can now also place the "Language Switcher Widget" at the bottom of your site :).
You can use the awesome "Widget Logic" plugin (or similar ones) and add additional paramaters, mostly conditional stuff like
is_home() in conjunction with
is_language( 'de' ) etc. This way widget usage on a per-language basis is possible. Or you place in the WPML language codes like
ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'de' for German language. Fore more info on that see their blog post: http://wpml.org/2011/03/howto-display-different-widgets-per-language/
With the following language detection code you are now able to make conditional statements, in the same way other WordPress conditional functions work, like
is_home() etc.:
* WPML: Conditional Switching Languages
* @author David Decker - DECKERWEB
* @link http://twitter.com/deckerweb
* @global mixed $sitepress
function is_language( $current_lang ) {
global $sitepress;
if ( $current_lang == $sitepress->get_current_language() ) {
return true;
Note: Be careful with the function name 'is_language' - this only works if there's no other function in your install with that name! If it's already taken (very rare case though), then just add a prefix like
--> You now can use conditionals like that:
if ( is_language( 'de' ) ) {
// do something for German language...
} elseif ( is_language( 'es' ) ) {
// do something for Spanish language...
Requires: 3.2 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.6.1

Thanks for delivering softball tickets
Published: Wednesday, February 4, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 10:47 p.m.
Dear Editor: I want to express my gratitude to the UA softball team for hand-delivering season tickets this year. It was a real surprise to answer the doorbell and find Lisa Elizondo and Kelley Montalvo standing on our porch. I felt appreciated for my very small contribution to the team, but also very honored that they would take the time.
Hand-delivering the tickets this year was a class act from a first-class team with a first-class coaching staff. I think we're all really looking forward to the upcoming season. It should be a real Bama Blast.
Keith Greenhill
